This is the new interface type that sets up an SR-IOV PCI network
device to be assigned to the guest with PCI passthrough after
initializing some network device-specific things from the config
(e.g. MAC address, virtualport profile parameters). Here is an example
of the syntax:

  <interface type='hostdev' managed='yes'>
    <source>
      <address type='pci' domain='0' bus='0' slot='4' function='3'/>
    </source>
    <mac address='00:11:22:33:44:55'/>
    <address type='pci' domain='0' bus='0' slot='7' function='0'/>
  </interface>

This would assign the PCI card from bus 0 slot 4 function 3 on the
host, to bus 0 slot 7 function 0 on the guest, but would first set the
MAC address of the card to 00:11:22:33:44:55.

NB: The parser and formatter don't care if the PCI card being
specified is a standard single function network adapter, or a virtual
function (VF) of an SR-IOV capable network adapter, but the upcoming
code that implements the back end of this config will work *only* with
SR-IOV VFs. This is because modifying the mac address of a standard
network adapter prior to assigning it to a guest is pointless - part
of the device reset that occurs during that process will reset the MAC
address to the value programmed into the card's firmware.

Although it's not supported by any of libvirt's hypervisor drivers,
usb network hostdevs are also supported in the parser and formatter
for completeness and consistency. <source> syntax is identical to that
for plain <hostdev> devices, except that the <address> element should
have "type='usb'" added if bus/device are specified:

  <interface type='hostdev'>
    <source>
      <address type='usb' bus='0' device='4'/>
    </source>
    <mac address='00:11:22:33:44:55'/>
  </interface>

If the vendor/product form of usb specification is used, type='usb'
is implied:

  <interface type='hostdev'>
    <source>
      <vendor id='0x0012'/>
      <product id='0x24dd'/>
    </source>
    <mac address='00:11:22:33:44:55'/>
  </interface>

Again, the upcoming patch to fill in the backend of this functionality
will log an error and fail with "Unsupported Config" if you actually
try to assign a USB network adapter to a guest using <interface
type='hostdev'> - just use a standard <hostdev> entry in that case
(and also for single-port PCI adapters).

Commit b170eb99 introduced a bug: domains that had an explicit

When support for the rombar option was added, it was only added for
PCI passthrough devices, configured with <hostdev>. The same option is
available for any network device that is attached to the guest's PCI
bus. This patch allows setting rombar for any PCI network device type.

After adding cases to test this to qemuxml2argv-hostdev-pci-rombar.*,
I decided to rename those files (to qemuxml2argv-pci-rom.*) to more
accurately reflect the additional tests, and also noticed that up to
now we've only been performing a domainschematest for that case, so I
added the "pci-rom" test to both qemuxml2argv and qemuxml2xml (and in
the process found some bugs whose fixes I squashed into previous
commits of this series).

QEMU supports a bunch of CPUID features that are tied to the kvm CPUID
nodes rather than the processor's.  They are "kvmclock",
"kvm_nopiodelay", "kvm_mmu", "kvm_asyncpf".  These are not known to
libvirt and their CPUID leaf might move if (for example) the Hyper-V
extensions are enabled. Hence their handling would anyway require some
special-casing.

However, among these the most useful is kvmclock; an additional
"property" of this feature is that a <timer> element is a better model
than a CPUID feature.  Although, creating part of the -cpu command-line
from something other than the <cpu> XML element introduces some
ugliness.

Applications can now insert custom nodes and hierarchies into domain
configuration XML. Although currently not enforced, applications are
required to use their own namespaces on every custom node they insert,
with only one top-level element per namespace.

In case a hypervisor doesn't support the exact CPU model requested by a
domain XML, we automatically fallback to a closest CPU model the
hypervisor supports (and make sure we add/remove any additional features
if needed). This patch adds 'fallback' attribute to model element, which
can be used to disable this automatic fallback.

Adding a new model for virtio-scsi roughly follows the same scheme
as the previous patch.

In the past, generic SCSI commands issued from a guest to a virtio
disk were always passed through to the underlying disk by qemu, and
the kernel would also pass them on.

As a result of CVE-2011-4127 (see:
http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2011/q4/536), qemu now honors its
scsi=on|off device option for virtio-blk-pci (which enables/disables
passthrough of generic SCSI commands), and the kernel will only allow
the commands for physical devices (not for partitions or logical
volumes). The default behavior of qemu is still to allow sending
generic SCSI commands to physical disks that are presented to a guest
as virtio-blk-pci devices, but libvirt prefers to disable those
commands in the standard virtio block devices, enabling it only when
specifically requested (hopefully indicating that the requester
understands what they're asking for). For this purpose, a new libvirt
disk device type (device='lun') has been created.

device='lun' is identical to the default device='disk', except that:

1) It is only allowed if bus='virtio', type='block', and the qemu
   version is "new enough" to support it ("new enough" == qemu 0.11 or
   better), otherwise the domain will fail to start and a
   CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED error will be logged).

2) The option "scsi=on" will be added to the -device arg to allow
   SG_IO commands (if device !='lun', "scsi=off" will be added to the
   -device arg so that SG_IO commands are specifically forbidden).

Guests which continue to use disk device='disk' (the default) will no
longer be able to use SG_IO commands on the disk; those that have
their disk device changed to device='lun' will still be able to use SG_IO
commands.

*docs/formatdomain.html.in - document the new device attribute value.
*docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng - allow it in the RNG
*tests/* - update the args of several existing tests to add scsi=off, and
 add one new test that will test scsi=on.
*src/conf/domain_conf.c - update domain XML parser and formatter

*src/qemu/qemu_(command|driver|hotplug).c - treat
 VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_DEVICE_LUN *almost* identically to
 VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_DEVICE_DISK, except as indicated above.

Note that no support for this new device value was added to any
hypervisor drivers other than qemu, because it's unclear what it might
mean (if anything) to those drivers.

Implement the parsing and formatting of the XML addition of
the previous commit.  The new XML doesn't affect qemu command
line, so we can now test round-trip XML->memory->XML handling.

I chose to reuse the existing structure, even though per-device
override doesn't use all of those fields, rather than create a
new structure, in order to reuse more code.

The RNG for <seclabel> was too strict - if it was present, then it
had to have sub-elements, even if those didn't make sense for the
given attributes.  Also, we didn't have any tests of <seclabel>
parsing or XML output.

In this patch, I added more parsing tests than output tests (since
the output populates and/or reorders fields not present in certain
inputs).  Making the RNG reliable is a precursor to using <seclabel>
variants in more places in the XML in later patches.

- create a new "redirdev" element for this purpose

In some versions of qemu, both virtio-blk-pci and virtio-net-pci
devices can have an event_idx setting that determines some details of
event processing. When it is enabled, it "reduces the number of
interrupts and exits for the guest". qemu will automatically enable
this feature when it is available, but there may be cases where this
new feature could actually make performance worse (NB: no such case
has been found so far).

As a safety switch in case such a situation is encountered in the
field, this patch adds a new attribute "event_idx" to the <driver>
element of both disk and interface devices. event_idx can be set to
"on" (to force event_idx on in case qemu has it disabled by default)
or "off" (for force event_idx off). In the case that event_idx support
isn't present in qemu, the attribute is ignored (this on the advice of
the qemu developer).

docs/formatdomain.html.in: document the new flag (marking it as
   "don't mess with this!"
docs/schemas/domain.rng: add event_idx in appropriate places

Once it's plugged in, the <listen> element will be an optional
replacement for the "listen" attribute that graphics elements already
have. If the <listen> element is type='address', it will have an
attribute called 'address' which will contain an IP address or dns
name that the guest's display server should listen on. If, however,
type='network', the <listen> element should have an attribute called
'network' that will be set to the name of a network configuration to
get the IP address from.

* docs/schemas/domain.rng: updated to allow the <listen> element

* docs/formatdomain.html.in: document the <listen> element and its
  attributes.

* src/conf/domain_conf.[hc]:

  1) The domain parser, formatter, and data structure are modified to
     support 0 or more <listen> subelements to each <graphics>
     element. The old style "legacy" listen attribute is also still
     accepted, and will be stored internally just as if it were a
     separate <listen> element. On output (i.e. format), the address
     attribute of the first <listen> element of type 'address' will be
     duplicated in the legacy "listen" attribute of the <graphic>
     element.

  2) The "listenAddr" attribute has been removed from the unions in
     virDomainGRaphicsDef for graphics types vnc, rdp, and spice.
     This attribute is now in the <listen> subelement (aka
     virDomainGraphicsListenDef)

  3) Helper functions were written to provide simple access
     (both Get and Set) to the listen elements and their attributes.

* src/libvirt_private.syms: export the listen helper functions

* src/qemu/qemu_command.c, src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c,
  src/qemu/qemu_migration.c, src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c,
  src/vmx/vmx.c, src/xenxs/xen_sxpr.c, src/xenxs/xen_xm.c

  Modify all these files to use the listen helper functions rather
  than directly referencing the (now missing) listenAddr
  attribute. There can be multiple <listen> elements to a single
  <graphics>, but the drivers all currently only support one, so all
  replacements of direct access with a helper function indicate index
  "0".

* tests/* - only 3 of these are new files added explicitly to test the
  new <listen> element. All the others have been modified to reflect
  the fact that any legacy "listen" attributes passed in to the domain
  parse will be saved in a <listen> element (i.e. one of the
  virDomainGraphicsListenDefs), and during the domain format function,
  both the <listen> element as well as the legacy attributes will be
  output.

the domain XML <interface> element is updated in the following ways:

1) <virtualportprofile> can be specified when source type='network'
(previously it was only valid for source type='direct')

2) A new attribute "portgroup" has been added to the <source>
element. When source type='network' (the only time portgroup is
recognized), extra configuration information will be taken from the
<portgroup> element of the given name in the network definition.

3) Each virDomainNetDef now also potentially has a
virDomainActualNetDef which is a private object (never
exported/imported via the public API, and not defined in the RNG) that
is used to maintain information about the physical device that was
actually used for a NetDef of type VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_NETWORK.

The virDomainActualNetDef will only be parsed/formatted if the
parse/format function is called with the
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INTERNAL_ACTUAL_NET flag set (which is only needed when
saving/loading a running domain's state info to the stateDir).

The drivers were accepting domain configs without checking if those
were actually meant for them. For example the LXC driver happily
accepts configs with type QEMU.

Add a check for the expected domain types to the virDomainDefParse*
functions.

A lock manager may operate in various modes. The direct mode of
operation is to obtain locks based on the resources associated
with devices in the XML. The indirect mode is where the app
creating the domain provides explicit leases for each resource
that needs to be locked. This XML extension allows for listing
resources in the XML

  <devices>
     ...
     <lease>
       <lockspace>somearea</lockspace>
       <key>thequickbrownfoxjumpsoverthelazydog</key>
       <target path='/some/lease/path' offset='23432'/>
     </lease>
     ...
  </devices>

The 'lockspace' is a unique identifier for the lockspace which
the lease is associated

The 'key' is a unique identifier for the resource associated
with the lease.

The 'target' is the file on disk where the leases are held.

A few of the tests were missing basic sanity checks, while most

Explanation

qemu's virtio-net-pci driver allows setting the algorithm used for tx
packets to either "bh" or "timer". This is done by adding ",tx=bh" or
",tx=timer" to the "-device virtio-net-pci" commandline option.

'bh' stands for 'bottom half'; when this is set, packet tx is all done
in an iothread in the bottom half of the driver. (In libvirt, this
option is called the more descriptive "iothread".)

'timer' means that tx work is done in qemu, and if there is more tx
data than can be sent at the present time, a timer is set before qemu
moves on to do other things; when the timer fires, another attempt is
made to send more data. (libvirt retains the name "timer" for this
option.)

The resulting difference, according to the qemu developer who added
the option is:

    bh makes tx more asynchronous and reduces latency, but potentially
    causes more processor bandwidth contention since the cpu doing the
    tx isn't necessarily the cpu where the guest generated the
    packets.

Solution

This patch provides a libvirt domain xml knob to change the option on
the qemu commandline, by adding a new attribute "txmode" to the
<driver> element that can be placed inside any <interface> element in
a domain definition. It's use would be something like this:

    <interface ...>
      ...
      <model type='virtio'/>
      <driver txmode='iothread'/>
      ...
    </interface>

I chose to put this setting as an attribute to <driver> rather than as
a sub-element to <tune> because it is specific to the virtio-net
driver, not something that is generally usable by all network drivers.
(note that this is the same placement as the "driver name=..."
attribute used to choose kernel vs. userland backend for the
virtio-net driver.)

Actually adding the tx=xxx option to the qemu commandline is only done
if the version of qemu being used advertises it in the output of

    qemu -device virtio-net-pci,?

If a particular txmode is requested in the XML, and the option isn't
listed in that help output, an UNSUPPORTED_CONFIG error is logged, and
the domain fails to start.

Implement blkio tunable XML configuration and parsing.

qemu allows the user to choose what io storage api should be used,
either the default (threads) or native (linux aio) which in the latter
case can result in better performance.

This supports the '-vga qxl' parameter in upstream QEMU/KVM
which has SPICE support added. This isn't particularly useful
until you get the next patch for -spice support. Also note that
while the libvirt XML supports multiple video devices, this
patch only supports a single one. A later patch can add support
for 2nd, 3rd, etc PCI devices for QXL
